What Causes Faster Heart Beat After Having Adderall?
Last 3 months, started taking adderall and last 2 weeks l-tyrosine to stop tolerance that seems to build quickly w ADD meds, not abusing the med just need it to be effective. I have recently noticed if my heart gets little faster, left Carotid Arteries get tighter....is this a concern? I also had back surgery and take Vicodin occasionally. Take vitamins otherwise.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Adderall is composed of stimulant medication so it can be associated with palpitations.
This is a possible side effect of stimulants.
If it is intolerable then you would need to speak to your doctor about possibly adjusting the medication.
I hope this helps
